" I ordered the five spice chicken with rice and it was pretty good but not fantastic. The atmosphere was nice but it was pretty crowded. The service was quick, which was a plus, but I think the hype has gotten a little ahead of the food quality. I might give it another shot but wouldn’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" First there was an impressive wait, but after trying the food, I completely understand. The ribeye pho was a delight, and the seafood options were fresh. Spiced just right but still a tad on the pricey side. Exceptional service though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Gao Viet Kitchen based on all the buzz, and I was not disappointed! The bun bo hue was comforting, though I think it could be a bit spicier. The portion size was enough to share, but I didn't want to. The service was quick, making it a great option for lunch. Will be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
